Good Treats For Pooches
Just as much as you enjoy munching on your favorite pastries every once in a while, your pooch also loves to enjoy eating tidbits that are different from the regular meals you feed him, in the form of treats. Dog treats are often offered to canine pets as incentives when they learn basic commands, general good behavior or anything in between. If given in right servings, treats could actually enhance the diets of our canine pets. But, more often than not, many dog owners tend to give their furry friends extra quantities of treats whenever they see that adoring look in their pets’ faces, thereby exposing them to hazards that could alter their diets.
Sadly, similar to the treats enjoyed by humans, most commercial dog treats are like junk food products replete with artificial sweeteners, preservatives and other synthetic ingredients. Such ingredients are what make these treats delicious for your dog but in truth are not good for his health. This is especially the case if given in large servings. When analyzing the quality of treats you provide to your dog, you must also exemplify the same attention that you give whenever you’re inspecting the labels of your pet’s meals. As much as possible deviate from treats that are abundant with engineered ingredients to make them tasty and aromatic but lacks the nutritive value that your dog needs, and never use fancy packaging as the basis of your choice.
As the market is profuse with unhealthy commercial canine treats, you’re probably thinking if there are still healthy treats available for your pet. However, it may be a relief to know that increasing numbers of dog food companies are now deviating from being junky and are moving toward being healthy. In fact, there are many dog food companies that make natural and organic dog treats supplemented with herbs that eliminates oral health problems and omega acids that helps promote healthy skin and shiny coats. Wellness and Canidae canine food lines are just two of the most well known dog food brands that offer healthy treats.
As a brief background, Wellness dog food is actually created by Old Mother Hubbard Company, which was originally established in 1926 as a sub-company for a family’s baking enterprise. An animal expert
from Lowell, Massachusetts bought Mother Hubbard and it was during that time when Wellness was developed. Canine food products from Wellness were first developed in the 1990s by then CEO Jim Scott Jr. and were introduced to the public in 1999. Looking back at its history, it is easily discernible that Wellness is a well established company that served as one of the pioneers in the production of healthy dog food products. Today, it is recognized as one of the healthiest canine food brands available in the market.
The people behind Wellness dog food maintain the belief that “you are what you eat,� and in order to present their adherence to such saying, they made sure that their dog meals as well as canine treats are made only from the finest ingredients packed with necessary nutrients that could improve the overall well being of our furry friends. With their advocacy to promote the importance of animal health and welfare, they guarantee every dog owner that their edible products are accurately formulated by a team of professional veterinarians and pet nutritionists. As a result, all the variants of their canine food mixes and treats are composed of all natural and human-quality ingredients free of animal by-products, artificial colors and preservatives.
Meanwhile, it was in 1993 that Canidae dog food was first introduced. Parallel to Wellness, the edible dog products of Canidae are made from all natural ingredients supplemented with superior holistic nutrition for dog pets. Their popularly known original gourmet snap biscuits contain high quality chicken and turkey meals, lamb meals, valuable fruits, herbs and vegetables that are full of omega fatty acids and viable micro-organisms, which are helpful for canine pets to become healthy. Their original snap bits also contain the same ingredients as their original gourmet snap biscuits but are packed as bite sizes, perfect as training incentives for smaller dog breeds.
Dog treats are usually given as incentives to dog pets whenever they exemplify good behavior, learned basic commands or just as regular treats. Similar to the meals you regularly feed to your dog, it is important that the treats you feed him came from trusted companies and are made from healthy ingredients. Canidae dog food and Wellness dog food are two canine food brands that offer healthy and all natural treats for canine pets.
